[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blame everyone and everything but the team and their leadership.

Sometimes - maybe - its just them [/quote]

+1. Read Carli Lloyd's remarks after the Portugal game. The players were laughing, dancing, and taking selfies after they were lucky to survive. They are going to get pummelled by Sweden. I am not happy about this. I have been a huge fan since 1991. But this team is a bad mix of players past their prime and newbies who are not ready. Maybe in 4 years.[/quote]

In 4 years the other team will be a lot better. When England women’s won the Euros in 2022 they had 17.4 million watching. England has a population of 55 million. That is similar to the number the superbowl gets in the US. Those kind of numbers drive more girls and money in to the sport for the next cycle. [/quote]

Two points

1. The 2022 Women's European Championship was the most watched edition of the tournament with a projected global cumulative live viewership of 365 million.

2. Popularity of women's sports in Europe will lead to more women playing sports - thus a greater pool of talent - yes

However - the current population of Western Europe is 195 million. The current population of the US is 332 million

Point being - population and ratings doesnt mean better soccer - obviously

No, but more girls over seas are playing Football now, I am from Argentina just 10 years they played field hockey, football was more for "Tommy boys" and lower income girls, now it changed and a lot more girls are playing Football, so in few years they are will have a real time and that its happening all over.  THS US needs to start changing  the way they play.[/quote]

And my point is that the US has more girls playing than all of Europe and we still can't find enough. [/quote]

DP. It's more than numbers though. A lot of the countries already have strong footballing culture and history, infrastructure, coaching systems and philosophies etc. [/quote]

It's an open question how long and how much premier league clubs are willing to lose subsidizing women's teams and, more importantly, girl's teams and academies. If they go on indefinitely or if the women's game in Europe becomes profitable, the US is hosed. If not, US pay to play is a better pipeline than just relying on crumbs from a national association.
